Tk glanced over at the locker beside his bed and noticed for the first time his D3. It was quite water logged but it still seemed to be working thankfully. Tk quickly scanned the room but there was no sign of his D-Terminal. "I must have lost it in the river," he thought.
Tk sighed without his D-Terminal any chance of contacting his friends was lost. For the first time the hopelessness of his situation really began to hit him. Since he hadn't been able to contact the others they were going to think he was dead... dead. Oh man Matt! Matt would have caught up with the others by now and what would they have told him? How would he have reacted? Oh God...
Tk ran his hand through his messy blond hair he didn't really want to think of the others thinking he was dead. It just seemed wrong and morbid but what else could he think?
"I need to get back to them."
Suddenly the doctor raced back into his room with such force the room door slammed off the wall causing Tk to jump.
"Digimon are attacking the hospital. We need to evacuate the building as quickly as possible. I'm sorry Tk but I'm going to have to make you run on that ankle."
Tk just stared at the doctor open mouthed. This couldn't be happening...
"Here kid," said the doctor throwing Tk some clothes throw these on. It's freezing outside I'm not having you survive a forty or so mile trek down a river just to die of the cold."
Tk dressed as quickly as he could given his injuries and made an attempt to stand up again. The pain shot through his leg instantly and he hissed. However he was thankful to have Tai's fleece back and the rainproof jacket the doctor had given him.
The doctor grimaced as he realised he was going to have to help the young teen walk. It was going to be a slow process.
"Em look kid it's a bit out of the way but I'll bring you to the store room first okay? You can get crutches and medication there, we're quite a while away from civilisation here in this hospital I'm afraid and you're going to need all the help you can get."
Tk merely nodded he was scared if he opened his mouth to say anything at that moment he would end up screaming.
The doctor walked over and put Tk's arm over his shoulder. "Come on while we still have time."
The hospital was small and it only had one floor but unfortunately the store room was not near any exits if the digimon cornered them before they could get out of the store room they were goners. However the doctor didn't feel it was necessary to tell Tk this. There was no point in scaring the kid further.
The pair had almost reached the store room when a crash of glass and screams behind them told them the digimon had entered the building.
"Fuck," muttered the doctor. "Come on we have to hurry."
Tk looked behind him to where the screams had come from and that's when he saw a lone Garurumon and the end of the hall. Tk turned quickly and pushed himself to make the last stride to get into the store room. He could hear the Garurumon's claws scratch off the tiled floor as it galloped after them.
The doctor's hand fumbled on the door handle to the store room and when he pulled the door open a large furry creature bounded out. Both the doctor and Tk recoiled thinking it was another Garurumon until the creature charged towards the digimon ready to attack, ready to defend.
"COBY!"
The collie leapt at the Garurumon and attempted to sink its fangs into the wolf digimon's neck. Tk realised quickly that this dog must be the one that had found him and helped save him yesterday and now it was saving him again.
"Get inside Tk," said the doctor monotonously. Tk could tell the doctor didn't want to watch his dog fight the Garurumon. The doctor knew his pet didn't stand a chance.
The doctor shut the door and locked it behind him, only a small window to Tk's left offered light. the light switch to the store room was outside the room and the doctor hadn't turned it on. "Come on kid we've no time to waste."
The doctor grabbed a canvas backpack from a high shelf and began stuffing it with bandages, painkillers and antibiotics as well as two bottles of water. He threw the bag to Tk who put it over his shoulder.
The doctor began packing a second bag as howls and screams echoed around the hospital. Tk could hear the sound of large pawa bound down the hall. Tk was able to tell the doctor was beginning to panic but he wasn't really sure of what to do. "We should leave soon," he said finally "Garurumon hunt in packs if we stay too long we-
The doctor turned quickly to face Tk. "Garurumon?" he questioned. "You know what these creatures are called?"
"Yeah," began Tk uncertainly. "I'm... well I'm a digides-
"Do you know how to kill them?"
"Well here in our world now they're just like ordinary animals so-
"Our world?" questioned the doctor taking a step forward.
Instinctively Tk took a step back. "Yeah the digimon take different well... different forms here. Here we can kill them but there are so many Garurumon outside that to, well to get rid of them all we'd have to-
The doctor lowered his gaze from Tk and looked at oxygen tanks on the floor. Tk instantly knew what he was thinking.
"No you can't!"
"Tk, you and your friends it's your mission to save our world isn't it?"
"Well-
The doctor smiled weakly. I thought so. "Look there is no other way for you to get out of the hospital you can't run fast enough on that leg, the Garurumon as you call them will get you in no time. You leave through that window and I'll blow up the hospital, kill the digimon and give you a chance to get out of here."
Tk's eyes widened. "But... but what about you?"
"If me dying will help save the world who am I to interfere with that?"
Tk opened his mouth to protest but the doctor silenced him. "Look kid, you can make a difference don't throw it away for me."
The doctor pushed past Tk and hit the window hard with the second backpack he had filled smashing it, he brushed away the shards of glass so Tk wouldn't cut himself as he climbed out the window and then threw the pack out. He took the crutches and second pack off Tk and threw them out too. "Come on I'll help you out."
Tk looked around the room. "I... can't let you do this."
"I'm not giving you a choice son, now come on!"
Tk sighed and allowed the doctor to help him out the window. As he hit the cold ground outside a sharp pain shot through his leg. He gathered his packs quickly and picked up the crutches. He turned to face the window again and saw that the doctor had already released the valves on the oxygen containers and had taken a lighter out of his pocket.
"Doctor," said Tk. "Thank you, I'll... I'll never forget you."
The doctor simply smiled but Tk could see his eyes were filled with tears. "Thank you Tk, now run. Please and don't... don't look back."
Tk nodded and turned around he limped away as quickly as he could on his crutches. He made it about fifty feet away before turning to look back at the hospital just as the whole west wing exploded outwards in a giant ball of flames. Tk felt a raging heat on his face and chest before he was sent flying backwards down a hill and into a small ditch in the forest. He was vaguely aware of the dying howls of Garurumon as his world faded to black.
